Is there still that content restriction in the game? Like after I got to a certain point they told me to buy something. (Which is kind of a dick slap to my face considering I bought the original game, but I'd consider it)

There was a game called 9Dragons. I believe Outspark shut it down.
You picked 1 out of 6 groups to join, and one of them was the Shaolin monks. But for some reason in the chat, the word Shaolin was censored. A 6th of all the players in the game were called Shaolin monks, and they wouldn't let you say it.
